TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the communications field, and specifically, to a beam training sequence design method and apparatus.

BACKGROUND

In beam forming training, one or more antennas are configured between a transmit end and a receive end. A beam training sequence is sent between the transmit end and the receive end for channel estimation on a communication channel between the transmit end and the receive end. Then communication performance of the communication channel is determined by using a result of the channel estimation.

In the beamforming training, different beam training sequences are required to perform beamforming training in different communication channel scenarios (for example, different scenarios that are corresponding to different maximum delay spread of communication channels, different channel bonding quantities, and different quantities of antennas). However, an existing beam training sequence design method is applicable to very limited communication channel scenarios, and cannot satisfy various different communication channel training requirements in communications systems. As a result, the current beam training sequence design method has a limitation.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Embodiments of the present invention provide a beam training sequence design method and apparatus, so that a beam training sequence can be applied to various communication channels configured in different scenarios.

To make persons skilled in the art understand the technical solutions in the present invention better, the following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

In the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of the present invention, the terms “first”, “second”, “third”, and so on are intended to distinguish between different objects but do not indicate a particular order. In addition, the term “including” or any variant thereof is intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, a method, a system, a product, or a device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but optionally further includes an unlisted step or unit, or optionally further includes another inherent step or unit of the process, the method, the product, or the device.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a beam training sequence design method, including:

generating, by a transmit end, N_(T) beam training sequences, where each beam training sequence includes a cyclic prefix and a Golay sequence with a length of 2×N×L, the N_(T) Golay sequences are orthogonal to each other, N_(T) is a quantity of antennas at the transmit end, L is a signal length corresponding to a maximum delay T_(m) of a channel, N_(T) is a positive integer, N is a positive integer, and L is a positive integer; and

sending, by the transmit end, the N_(T) beam training sequences to a receive end by using the N_(T) transmit antennas at the transmit end, where each transmit antenna sends one corresponding beam training sequence.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the transmit end generates the beam training sequences related to the quantity of antennas, the maximum delay of the channel, and a channel bonding quantity, so that the beam training sequence design method in this embodiment of the present invention is no longer restricted by a quantity of antennas, a delay spread value of a channel, and a scenario such as multi-channel bonding, and the beam training sequence is applicable to different channel scenario configurations.

First, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a sequence-based channel estimation method according to the present invention. This embodiment of the present invention is applicable to channel estimation under a MIMO multi-channel condition, and also applicable to channel estimation under a single-channel condition.

A MIMO system shown in FIG. 1 includes a transmit end and a receive end. For example, the transmit end and the receive end each include two antennas. Referring to FIG. 1-a, the transmit end includes a transmit antenna M-1T and a transmit antenna M-2T, and the receive end includes a receive antenna M-1R and a receive antenna M-2R.

There are a total of four channels between the two transmit antennas and the two receive antennas: 1-1 (a channel between the M-1T and the M-1R), 1-2 (a channel between the M-1T and the M-2R), 2-1 (a channel between the M-2T and the M-1R), and 2-2 (a channel between the M-2T and the M-2R).

In the MIMO system, a target signal obtained after a signal sent by a transmit antenna is transmitted through a channel may be received by all the receive antennas. For example, the M-1T sends a source signal, a target signal obtained after the source signal is transmitted through the 1-1 channel may be received by the M-1R, and a target signal obtained after the source signal is transmitted through the 1-2 channel may be received by the M-2R.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a pair of Golay complementary sequences according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3-a is a schematic structural diagram of a BRP frame of a beam training sequence according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3-b is a schematic diagram of a beam training sequence T/R structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The beam training sequence (T/R sequence) provided in tins embodiment of the present invention is designed based on a beam refinement protocol (BRP for short) frame structure used in the IEEE 802.11ad standard. As shown in FIG. 3-a, a beam training TRN field in the BRP frame structure includes N (N<17) TRN-Units, and each TRN-Unit is divided into two parts: CE and T/R. In the prior art, CE includes eight Golay complementary sequences with a length of 128 (Ga128 and Gb128), and cyclic prefixes and cyclic suffixes that are placed ahead of and after the Golay complementary sequences respectively, and can satisfy a multi-path channel estimation requirement in a 72 ns delay spread range. As shown in FIG. 3-b, the T/R field includes four Golay complementary sequences with a length of 128 (Ga128 and Gb128), and cyclic prefixes placed ahead of the Golay complementary sequences, so that channel measurement may be roughly performed by using a time-domain measurement method, and accurate channel estimation may be performed in frequency domain. However, the beam training sequence can satisfy only a delay of 72 ns, and is only specific to a single-input single-output (SISO for short) channel scenario, and no corresponding design is provided for a larger delay and a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO for short) channel scenario. This embodiment of the present invention is further designed based on the T/R sequence structure, shown in FIG. 3-b, provided by the IEEE 802.11ad standard.

FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart of a first embodiment of a beam training sequence design method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the method includes the following steps.

S401. A transmit end generates N_(T) beam training sequences.

In this embodiment of the present invention, each transmit end has N_(T) transmit antennas, and each antenna sends one beam training sequence.

Specifically, when sending the beam training sequence, the antenna sends a BRP frame that includes the beam training sequence and that is based on a BRP frame structure shown in FIG. 3-a.

Referring to FIG. 1-d, each beam training sequence includes a cyclic prefix and a Golay sequence with a length of 2×N×L. The N_(T) Golay sequences are orthogonal to each other. N_(T) is a quantity of antennas at the transmit end. L is a signal length corresponding to a maximum delay T_(m) of a channel. N_(T) is a positive integer. N is a positive integer. L is a positive integer. A length of the cyclic prefix is L.

Preferably, the cyclic prefix is a Golay sequence.

It may be understood that because a quantity of beam training sequences is the quantity N_(T) of antennas, and a length of the beam training sequence is the signal length corresponding to the maximum delay T_(m) of the channel, the beam training sequence is related to a channel bonding quantity, and the beam training sequence can satisfy requirements for various quantities of antennas and different maximum delays of channels.

Optionally, the maximum delay T_(m) of the to-be-estimated channel may be greater than or equal to 72 nanoseconds (ns), or certainly may be less than 72 ns. This is not limited herein.

Optionally, there may be a single antenna or may be a plurality of antennas.

S402. The transmit end sends the N_(T) beam training sequences to a receive end by using N_(T) transmit antennas at the transmit end, where each transmit antenna sends one corresponding beam training sequence.

S403. The receive end receives the N_(T) channel estimation training sequence packets sent by the transmit end.

Specifically, assuming that the receive end has N_(R) receive antennas, each receive antenna receives the N_(T) channel estimation training sequence packets, where N_(R) is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

S404. Each receive antenna at the receive end performs channel estimation based on the N_(T) channel estimation training sequence packets, to obtain N_(T)×1 link channel gains.

Optionally, after receiving the N_(T) channel estimation training sequence packets, each receive antenna at the receive end performs correlation operations by using N_(T) correlators corresponding to the N_(T) channel estimation training sequences, to obtain the N_(T)×1 link channel gains, namely, a channel estimation result.

Further, a complete channel estimation result of the N_(R) receive antennas is an N_(R)×N_(T) channel estimation result.

It can be learned that, in the technical solution provided in this embodiment of the present invention, the transmit end generates the N_(T) beam training sequences; then the transmit end sends the N_(T) beam training sequences to the receive end by using the N_(T) transmit antennas at the transmit end; and after the receive end receives the N_(T) beam training sequences, each antenna at the receive end performs channel estimation based on the N_(T) beam training sequences, to obtain the N_(T)×1 link channel gains. Each beam training sequence includes the cyclic prefix and the Golay sequence with a length of 2×N×L. The N_(T) Golay sequences are orthogonal to each other. N_(T) is the quantity of antennas at the transmit end. L is the signal length corresponding to the maximum delay T_(m) of the channel. N_(T) is a positive integer. N is a positive integer. L is a positive integer. Therefore, a beam training sequence can be no longer restricted by a quantity of antennas, a delay spread value of a channel, and a scenario such as multi-channel bonding provided that the beam training sequence satisfies the foregoing conditions, so that the beam training sequence is applicable to different channel scenario configurations.

The signal length L corresponding to the maximum delay T_(m) of the channel may be understood as a length of a signal that can be transmitted based on a symbol rate of the channel under the maximum delay T_(m).

Preferably, in some possible implementations of the present invention, the signal length L corresponding to the maximum delay T_(m) of the channel is as follows:

L=2^(log) ² ^(└R) ^(s) ^(T) ^(m┘) , where R_(s) is the symbol rate of the channel.

It may be understood that a Golay sequence with a signal length related to a maximum delay of a channel is designed and used as a beam training sequence of the channel, so that the beam training sequence is applicable to different maximum delays of channels.

Optionally, in some possible implementations of the present invention, channel configurations of the channel that may be applied to the designed Golay complementary sequences include any one of the following channel configurations:

if the maximum delay T_(m) of the channel is 72 nanoseconds, the channel bonding CB quantity is 1 so that R_(s) is 1.76 Gbit/s, and the quantity N_(T) of antennas at the transmit end is 2, 4, or 8,

in the channel configuration, the maximum delay T_(m) of the channel, the channel bonding CB quantity, and the quantity N_(T) of antennas at the transmit end are any combination of the following parameter values:

the maximum delay T_(m) of the charnel is 72 nanoseconds or 300 nanoseconds;

the channel bonding CB quantity is 1, 2, 3, or 4, so that R_(s) is 1.76 Gbit/s, 3.52 Gbit/s, 5.28 Gbit/s, or 7.04 Gbit/s; and

the quantity N_(T) of antennas at the transmit end is 1, 2, 4, or 8.

The channel bonding (CB for short) quantity is a quantity of channels bonded between the transmit end and the receive end.

It may be understood that the beam training sequence can satisfy different channel delays, quantities of antennas, and channel bonding quantities, so that a communications configuration can satisfy any one of the foregoing scenarios.

FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a second embodiment of a beam training sequence design method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the method shown in FIG. 5, for content that is the same as or similar to content in the method shown in FIG. 4, refer to detailed descriptions in FIG. 4. Details are not described herein again. As shown in FIG. 5, the method includes the following steps.

S501. A transmit end generates M pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L in a preset Golay complementary sequence generation manner.

The M pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L are defined in a finite Z_(H) field. Each pair of the M pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L includes two Golay complementary sequences with a length of L. L is a signal length corresponding to a maximum delay T_(m) of a channel. Both M and L are positive integers.

Preferably, in some possible implementations of the present invention, the generating M pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L in a preset Golay complementary sequence generation manner includes:

assuming that the Golay complementary sequences include G_(ai)L=a and G_(bi)L=b, and generating the M pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L by using the following formulas:

${{{assuming}\mspace{14mu}{that}\mspace{14mu} a} = {{\left\{ a_{i} \right\}_{i = 0}^{2^{m} - 1}\mspace{14mu}{and}\mspace{14mu} b} = \left\{ b_{i} \right\}_{i = 0}^{2^{m} - 1}}},{{{{where}\mspace{14mu} a_{i}} = {{\frac{H}{2}{\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{m - 1}{i_{\pi{(k)}}i_{\pi{({k + 1})}}}}} + {\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{m}{c_{k}i_{k}}} + c_{0}}};{{{and}\mspace{14mu} b_{i}} = {{a_{i} + {\frac{H}{2}i_{\pi{(1)}}\mspace{14mu}{or}\mspace{14mu} b_{i}}} = {a_{i} + {\frac{H}{2}i_{\pi{(m)}}}}}};{{{and}\mspace{11mu} M} = {H^{({m + 1})} \times \frac{m!}{2}}}},$ where a value is a positive integer ranging from 1 to M, m=log₂└R_(s)T_(m)┘, π is a value obtained after {1, . . . , m} is mapped in a preset mapping manner, and C_(k) is any value defined in the Z_(H) field.

For example, in an example of the present invention, a pair of Golay complementary sequences may be obtained by using the foregoing formulas:

G_(a)128=[11-1-1-1-1-1-1-11-111-1-1111-1-11111-11-11-111-1-1-11111111-11-1-111-111-1-11111-11-11-111-111-1-1-1-1-1-1-11-111-1-1111-1-11111-11-11-111-111-1-1-1-1-1-1-11-111-1-11-1-111-1-1-1-11-11-11-1-11]; and

G_(b)128=[-1-11111111-11-1-111-1-1-111-1-1-1-11-11-11-1-1111-1-1-1-1-1-1-11-111-1-11-1-111-1-1-1-11-11-11-1-1111-1-1-1-1-1-1-11-111-1-1111-1-11111-11-11-111-111-1-1-1-1-1-1-11-111-1-11-1-111-1-1-1-11-11-11-1-11].

In addition, four other groups of sequences with lengths of 256, 512, 1024, and 2048 are defined:

Optionally, in other possible implementations of the present invention, the Golay complementary sequences may be generated in another manner.

S502. The transmit end obtains N_(T) orthogonal Golay sequences with a length of 2×N×L based on the M pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L.

N_(T) is a quantity of antennas at the transmit end. N_(T) is a positive integer greater than 0. N is a positive integer greater than 0. A value of M is greater than or equal to a value of N_(T).

S503. The transmit end adds a cyclic prefix with a length of L ahead of each of the N_(T) orthogonal Golay complementary sequences with a length of 2×N×L, to obtain beam training sequences applied to a channel having N_(T) antennas.

Optionally, the cyclic prefix may be a Golay sequence

Optionally, in some possible implementations of the present invention, the obtaining N_(T) orthogonal Golay sequences with a length of 2×N×L based on the M pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L includes:

obtaining N_(T) pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L from the M pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L; and

placing repeatedly and alternately each pair of the N_(T) pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L for N times in a first preset manner, to obtain the N_(T) orthogonal Golay sequences with a length of 2×N×L.

The placing repeatedly and alternately each Golay complementary sequence with a length of L for N times in a first preset manner means adding a positive sign or a negative sign ahead of each Golay sequence with a length of L when repeatedly placing each Golay complementary sequence with a length of L, to finally obtain the N_(T) orthogonal Golay complementary sequences with a length of 2×N×L. Adding a negative sign ahead of a Golay sequence means negation of each symbol in the Golay sequence. Adding a positive sign ahead of a Golay sequence means keeping each symbol in the Golay sequence unchanged.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the first preset manner of placing repeatedly and alternately the Golay complementary sequence is not unique, provided that the finally obtained N_(T) Golay sequences with a length of 2×N×L are orthogonal to each other.

Preferably, a value of the quantity N of limes of the repeated and alternate placing is 2.

For example, in an example of the present invention, when the maximum delay T_(m) of the channel is 72 ns, a symbol rate of the channel is 1.76 Gbps (in this case, there is no channel aggregation, to be specific, channel bonding CB quantity is 1), and a quantity of MIMO antennas is 2, first, any two pairs of Golay complementary sequences G_(a1)128/G_(b1)128 and G_(a2)128/G_(b2)128 are obtained from the M pairs of Golay complementary sequences generated in step S201, and the two pairs of Golay complementary sequences are repeatedly and alternately placed twice separately, to obtain two sequences [−G_(b1)128, G_(a1)128, G_(b1)128, G_(a1)128] and [−G_(b2)128, G_(a2)128, G_(b2)128, G_(a2)128]; or may be repeatedly and alternately placed twice in another manner, to obtain [−G_(b1)128, −G_(a1)128, G_(b1)128, −G_(a1)128] and [−G_(b2)128, G_(a2)128, G_(b2)128, G_(a2)128]. In the two cases, the two sequences are orthogonal to each other.

It may be understood that the Golay complementary sequences may be repeatedly and alternately placed in a specific manner to obtain the N_(T) orthogonal Golay sequences with a length of 2×N×L, and then the cyclic prefix with a length of L is added ahead of each Golay sequence to obtain the beam training sequences for beam training on the channel having N_(T) antennas, so that the beam training sequences can be no longer restricted by a quantity of antennas, a delay spread value of a channel, and a scenario such as multi-channel bonding, and is applicable to different channel scenario configurations.

Optionally, in other possible implementations of the present invention, the obtaining N_(T) orthogonal Golay sequences with a length of 2×N×L based on the M pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L includes:

obtaining ┌N_(T)/2N┐ pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L from the M pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L; and

placing repeatedly and alternately each pair of the ┌N_(T)/2N┐ pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L for N times in a second preset manner, and multiplying sequences obtained after the repeated and alternate placing by a preset orthogonal matrix, to obtain the N_(T) orthogonal Golay sequences with a length of 2×N×L, where the preset orthogonal matrix is a 2N-order orthogonal matrix.

Preferably, a value of N is 2, so that the preset orthogonal matrix is a 4-order orthogonal matrix.

The placing repeatedly and alternately each pair of the ┌N_(T)/2N┐ pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L for N limes in a second preset manner may be: placing repeatedly and alternately each pair of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L among the Golay complementary sequences in any manner, to obtain ┌N_(T)/2N┐ Golay sequences with a length of 2×N×L. The ┌N_(T)/2N┐ Golay sequences with a length of 2×N×L that are obtained alter the placing in the second preset manner are not necessarily orthogonal to each other.

Preferably, when the value of N is 2, the preset orthogonal matrix is the 4-order orthogonal matrix. Therefore, ┌N_(T)/4┐ Golay sequences with a length of 2×N×L are multiplied by the 4-order orthogonal matrix to obtain ┌N_(T)/4┐×4 orthogonal Golay sequences with a length of 2×N×L, and then N_(T) Golay sequences are selected from the ┌N_(T)/4┐×4 orthogonal Golay sequences with a length of 2×N×L to obtain N_(T) orthogonal Golay sequences with a length of 2×N×L.

For example, in an example of the present invention, when the maximum delay T_(m) of the channel is 72 ns, a symbol rate of the channel is 3.52 Gbps (in this case, a channel bonding CB quantity is 2), and a quantity of MIMO antennas is 8, first, any two pairs of Golay complementary sequences G_(a1)256/G_(b1)256 and G_(a2)256/G_(b2)256 are obtained from the M pairs of Golay complementary sequences generated in step S301, and the two pairs of Golay complementary sequences are repeatedly and alternately placed twice, to obtain sequences [−G_(b1)256, G_(a1)256, G_(b1)256, G_(a1)256] and [−G_(b2)256, G_(a2)256, G_(b2)256, G_(a2)256]. Then the two pairs of sequences are multiplied by the 4-order orthogonal matrix P to obtain eight orthogonal Golay sequences, which are specifically as follows:

${{{{{{\begin{bmatrix} {{- {Gb}_{2}}256} & {{Ga}_{2}256} & {{Gb}_{2}256} & {{Ga}_{2}256} \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & {- 1} & 1 & {- 1} \\ 1 & 1 & {- 1} & {- 1} \\ 1 & {- 1} & {- 1} & 1 \end{bmatrix}} =}\quad}\quad}{\quad{\left\lbrack \begin{matrix} {{- {Gb}_{2}}256} & {{Ga}_{2}256} & {{Gb}_{2}256} & {{Ga}_{2}256} \\ {{- {Gb}_{2}}256} & {{- {Ga}_{2}}256} & {{Gb}_{2}256} & {{- {Ga}_{2}}256} \\ {{- {Gb}_{2}}256} & {{Ga}_{2}256} & {{- {Gb}_{2}}256} & {{- {Ga}_{2}}256} \\ {{- {Gb}_{2}}256} & {{- {Ga}_{2}}256} & {{- {Gb}_{2}}256} & {{Ga}_{2}256} \end{matrix} \right\rbrack;{{{{and}\begin{bmatrix} {{- {Gb}_{1}}256} & {{Ga}_{1}256} & {{Gb}_{1}256} & {{Ga}_{1}256} \end{bmatrix}}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & {- 1} & 1 & {- 1} \\ 1 & 1 & {- 1} & {- 1} \\ 1 & {- 1} & {- 1} & 1 \end{bmatrix}} =}}\quad}}\quad}{\quad{\left\lbrack \begin{matrix} {{- {Gb}_{1}}256} & {{Ga}_{1}256} & {{Gb}_{1}256} & {{Ga}_{1}256} \\ {{- {Gb}_{1}}256} & {{- {Ga}_{1}}256} & {{Gb}_{1}256} & {{- {Ga}_{1}}256} \\ {{- {Gb}_{1}}256} & {{Ga}_{1}256} & {{- {Gb}_{1}}256} & {{- {Ga}_{1}}256} \\ {{- {Gb}_{1}}256} & {{- {Ga}_{1}}256} & {{- {Gb}_{1}}256} & {{Ga}_{1}256} \end{matrix} \right\rbrack.}}$

It may be understood that the N_(T) orthogonal Golay complementary sequences with a length of 2×N×L may be obtained through multiplication by the orthogonal matrix, where L is the signal length corresponding to the maximum delay T_(m) of the channel; and the cyclic prefix with a length of L is added ahead of each Golay sequence to obtain the beam training sequences for beam training on the channel having N_(T) antennas, so that the beam training sequence can be no longer restricted by a quantity of antennas, a delay spread value of a channel, and a scenario such as multi-channel bonding, and is applicable to different channel scenario configurations.

It can be learned that, in the technical solution provided in this embodiment of the present invention, the beam training sequences related to the quantity of antennas, the maximum delay of the channel, and the channel bonding quantity are generated. Therefore, a beam training sequence can be no longer restricted by a quantity of antennas, a delay spread value of a channel, and a scenario such as multi-channel bonding provided that the beam training sequence satisfies the foregoing conditions, so that the beam training sequence is applicable to different channel scenario configurations.

S602. Obtain N_(T) pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L from the M pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L.

N_(T) is a quantity of antennas at a transmit end. N_(T) is a positive integer greater than 0. N is a positive integer greater than 0. A value of M is greater than or equal to a value of N_(T).

S603. Place repeatedly and alternately each pair of the N_(T) pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L for N times in a first preset manner, to obtain N_(T) orthogonal Golay sequences with a length of 2×N×L.

S604. Add a Golay complementary sequence cyclic prefix with a length of L ahead of each of the N_(T) orthogonal Golay complementary sequences with a length of 2×N×L, to obtain beam training sequences applied to a channel having N_(T) antennas.

Place repeatedly and alternately each pair of the ┌N_(T)/4┐ pairs of Golay complementary sequences with a length of L for N times in a second preset manner, and multiply sequences obtained after the repeated and alternate placing by a preset orthogonal matrix, to obtain N_(T) orthogonal Golay sequences with a length of 2×N×L, where the preset orthogonal matrix is a 2N-order orthogonal matrix.
